When can a radio be called "vintage"?

In wine, "vintage" refers only to the year in which it was bottled, as in "vintage 2008." Radios don't get better as they age! Few things do, but people like to collect old things nonetheless. I would classify a radio as "VINTAGE" if it only has tubes or discrete transistors. |
